I started working with her when we did our decks and patio cover. With that, she created a style foundation, leading to the remodel of our siding and entrance areas. Later, our bathrooms changed from dark, ugly holes to being bright and roomy. Brigitte raised the ceiling and added a roof window, I now have the sun hit my shower water, transforming it into a glowing rain-shower. > Brigitte is easy to talk to and a hard worker. She is well connected with the contractors and suppliers and she made sure projects were moving along and stayed within budgets. **★★★★★ — Nicky Allison, Aug. 2017** > Brigitte Steines assisted us with a home addition and remodel in 2015. Her professional attitude and abilities helped us to move forward with a practical and efficient plan. I have been a professional interior designer for over 40 years and found Brigitte to be one of the most sincere and talented architects that I have had the pleasure to work with. Our project added a master suite and studio to a 100 year old farm house that we had remodeled and/or added on to 5 times previously. Needless to say it was a challenge to pull the project together in a copacetic fashion with attention to utilitarian function and pleasing design. I would be happy to talk with anyone about Mrs. Steines' abilities. **★★★★★ — Dorothea Von Herder, July 2017** > Brigitte's sense for the potential of small spaces is extraordinary. I hired her to get my sad looking bathroom transformed into sleek modern space. She helped to navigate costs wisely as we had to renovate both up-stairs and downstairs bathrooms. Both spaces got done back to back in about 8 weeks for 40 K, but they look easily like double the cost. ## Selected projects - [Vertical Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vertical-addition-pj-vj~900157) - Location: Lexington, MA - Photos: 17 - Description: Additions, big or small, add so much living quality for the inhabitants. Not only can be square footage added, but the flow of the house can be incredible enhanced, daylight can be brought to darker areas, and the overall value will be tremendously improved. - [Space Saver Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/space-saver-bathroom-pj-vj~2618688) - Location: Needham, MA - Photos: 6 - Description: 46 square feet are not a whole lot to work with! Yet, we created a highly efficient and fully functional bathroom space for everyday use. The white color, and the wall mount cabinet let it appear bigger.

They are not separate rooms but rather set the positive surrounding for each home, and should be part of it. We put a great emphasis on planning transitioning from indoor to outdoors, considering views and flow. Planning with the seasons, sun and shade, views, and individual needs are highly critical to our approach. We work closely with landscape architects to integrate hardscape, structures, and landscape with the dwelling. - [Urban Condo Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/urban-condo-remodel-pj-vj~2186413) - Location: Boston, MA - Photos: 6 - Description: The apartment in a triple decker was renovated underlining the historical features with adding modern amenities and design features.

This can be a simple massing model to review proportions or a complex 3D model with visualizing lighting and finishes. - [3-Car Garage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/3-car-garage-pj-vj~2618685) - Location: Lexington, MA - Photos: 1 [See all 17 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/steines-architecture-pfvwus-pf~939525483) ## Community Q&A **Q: What countertop would you choose?** *(in Design Dilemma)* I built a bar base out of this stone to match a floor to cieling fireplace in my basement now I'm struggling with countertops I'm open to anything granite, quartz, etc (Cabinets are dark brown called weathered gray, but they look like an espresso with grey hue) A: The last one was from the Ocean series by Silestone, Arctic https://www.silestoneusa.com/color/arctic/ **Q: two tone cabinets** *(in Design Dilemma)* About to build from new. Are 2 tone kitchen cabinets a fad or here to stay. I love the look of 2 tones but I'm scared that in 5 years I'll be like :"what was I thinking!" A: We do a two veneer kitchen right now. Uppers with a beautiful Korelian birch burl veneer, which is relatively busy, and keep the lowers grounded and calm with a more "solid color" wood veneer like maple quarter cut. In a classic modern wood kitchen I would not consider two tone a fashion. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-01.*
